Black Friday deals galore!

The big day is almost here. The day when your food is the star, and your kitchen appliances the backup singers. We wait 11 months for Thanksgiving and prepare for the big event with research, recipe planning and smart shopping.

Even if your appliances aren’t up to par this year, never fear! There’s never a bad time to shop for new appliances. And if shopping for a new kitchen is wrong, we don’t want to be right.

So let’s get down to it. Once Thanksgiving passes, it’s time to shift gears to Black Friday shopping and deal-seeking mode. And do we ever have deals for you!

Our GE ranges come in all shapes, sizes and prices. The ranges by GE produce evenly dispersed heat so your food cooks thoroughly. If you’re a baker, then you’ll love the full-width storage drawer which has room for baking racks and cookie sheets.

You have another option with the Jenn-Air dual fuel range. This range offers a whopping 17,000 BTU burner, brass burners and optional duct-free filter kit that allows for installation nearly anywhere. The range boasts downdraft ventilation which was developed and refined by Jenn-Air. It uses proximity ventilation to capture smoke, steam and odors at the cooking surface. Those are whisked down, out and away, leaving a cleaner and fresher kitchen.

Sounds good, doesn’t it?

When life gives you Black Friday deals, you go shopping! Search our website, visit our store and chat with our friendly staff.

We are thankful to serve and help you make all your home wishes come true.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Congratulations, Ashland Culinary Festival winners!

The annual Ashland Culinary Festival celebrates Southern Oregon’s bustling food scene. Every attendee delights in food, wine and competition.

There were several competitions at the 2016 festival and a winner emerged from each.

The Top Mixologist competition was one of two new additions to the festival. Four local bartenders from Alchemy Restaurant & Bar, Brickroom, Larks Restaurant and Smithfields Restaurant & Bar fought for the title of Top Mixologist. After a rigorous -- and delicious! -- contest, Blake Henry of Brickroom won the Top Mixologist award.

The Junior Chef competition was the other new event. Teams from Ashland High School and South Medford High School’s culinary programs went head-to-head; a head chef and sous chef on each team. Albacore tuna was the secret ingredient and the teams were required to create a starter and an entree. Rose Eschtruth-Harrison and Gabriele Livni from Ashland High School were the winners of this inaugural event. Congrats, girls!

The Top Chef competition played out in four rounds over two days. 12 chefs competed, each round containing a secret ingredient the chefs showcased in their dishes. After four vigorous matches, Josh Dorcak of Scarpetta Prima took home the honor of Top Chef 2016.

The Ashland Culinary Festival is a staple of Southern Oregon and an event which highlights our amazing restaurants and chefs. We’re honored to sponsor it. We offer a hearty congratulations to the winners and all those who competed. See you next year!

Home on the Range

The biggest food day of the year is a mere 15 days away. Of course we’re talking about Thanksgiving!

Relatives will arrive, and stay, at the house (luckily you just redecorated the guest room!). You finished the Thanksgiving grocery list a couple weeks ago and you’re going to start shopping for ingredients soon. The house is clean and the appliances are ready to cook.

Or are they?

You’re going to be using it all -- oven, microwave, crock pot and stand mixer. But your range is the star of the show. You need the best range available. Fortunately there's still time before Thanksgiving to swap out the old for the new.

The GE Profile Range is everything you need. These ranges come in every shape and type; freestanding dual-fuel, electric, gas, induction and more. Each type of range in the series offers unique attributes. Extras include everything from baking drawers to room for pots and pans of all sizes.

Your new #GE Profile range will be the shining star of not only your Thanksgiving dinner, but each holiday meal after that. Your food will be a masterpiece. You are the hero of the holidays, with help from your trusty GE Profile range sidekick.

Elegant Halloween home decorations

Halloween is a night of tricks, treats and spooky fun, but it doesn’t have to be all zombies, ghosts, blood and gore. Your Halloween decorations can add a splash of sophistication and spunk to your fall decor. Let’s look at a few ideas that swap those old party store cobwebs for decorations pleasing to the entire family.

Don’t carve, paint!

Pumpkins are a Halloween staple. If you’re not a carving master, or want an activity safe for the kids, trade in a knife for a paint brush. Paint your pumpkins with polka dots, stripes or even a face! Painting pumpkins allows you to flex those creative muscles and the options are endless.

Create atmosphere with candles

Rather than relying solely on candlelight to create mood, focus on your candle holders. Iron lanterns have an aged, sleek look that harkens back to the time of the Headless Horseman or travelers finding refuge in a wooded cabin. Turn off the lamps, light your candles and gather around to tell scary stories.

Pillows with personality

Throw pillows are fun accent pieces you can play around with all year long. And Halloween

is no exception. Halloween-themed pillows can have scary quotes, images of pumpkins or a creepy Halloween backdrop. We guarantee your guests will look twice at these spooky pillows during the Halloween festivities.

As you decorate for Halloween, think outside the coffin. Pumpkins aren’t just for the porch anymore and even skulls and ghosts can make an elegant (and spooky!) table runner. Embrace the Halloween spirit and make your home boo-ti-ful this holiday.

How to Choose a Mattress

Losing sleep over your mattress? Maybe it’s because your mattress is lumpy, bumpy or old.

Or maybe it’s because you’re stressing over how to find a new mattress. Where do you start? How much time should you research before going to a store? Can you lie down on a floor-model mattress?

Worry no more! These handy hints will help you select the best mattress.

1. Mattress age

It’s important to know how old your mattress is. A good trick is if your mattress is over 8 years old, it’s time to buy a new one. It also depends on your personal preference. If you’re restless or waking up in pain, you should consider a new mattress.

2. Type of mattress

This also varies from person to person. There are a few common choices on the market which fulfill a variety of needs for sleepers of all kinds: hybrids, latex, memory foam, coils, pillow-top and adjustable. Whatever you choose, it’s important to research each type beforehand.

3.  Set a budget

Just like with every big purchase, make a budget. When you have a budget, you can shop -- and buy! -- with confidence. And don’t be afraid to pay for quality. You use your mattress night after night. It should have the highest quality at an affordable price. And we have plenty of those mattresses available in our store.

4.  Firm or soft?

Firmness is highly subjective. Test out mattresses in the store. Sit, lay down and move around a little. There’s a level of firmness specific to you and your body type.

5.  Sleep position

Do you sleep on your side, stomach or back? Or do you go through different positions throughout the night? Certain styles of mattresses (see #2) conform to the shape of your body.

If you need extra help, visit the mattress selector and find the #Serta mattress made for you!

How to Turn Your Bedroom Into an Oasis

A sanctuary is a haven; a retreat from the problems and pressures of daily life. No one can touch the sanctity of your sanctuary. It’s yours and yours alone.

Usually.

Reality has crept up to the borders of your sanctuary. Dirty clothes are edging closer to the door and you can hear the buzz of your phone down the hall. You need to redefine boundaries and recreate your sanctuary.

Your bedroom should be an oasis -- a place of rest. Reclaim your space. How do you start? Easy! West Coast Appliance and Furniture has you covered. Choose from a wide selection of “ready to go” bedding groups. Then it's time to relax.

Do you love rustic cabin charm? You know the place. It’s the cozy cottage nestled in the heart of the woods, among the fall foliage and beside a lake. Quiet and peaceful.

Even if you can’t escape to a cabin retreat, you can unwind in your own vintage bedroom every day! The Aimwell bedroom set has a warm brown finish which enhances the cherry grain and features golden rub through accenting. The two-tone look is easy on the eyes and distinguishes your bedroom as the sanctuary of the house.

Perfectly crafted furniture will bring your sanctuary to new heights. Your home retreat will reflect your taste 100 percent.

Grab a book, a glass of wine and leave your phone in the entryway. Wear your coziest slippers and settle in among your pillows. You won’t want to leave your sanctuary. Promise.
